Holiday wishes
"Even as we prepare for the holidays, the New Year is just around the corner and directs our thoughts to the future.
Daunting challenges are facing the nation, and our Laboratory's ability to anticipate, innovate, and deliver is more important than ever.
LLNL's work really does make a difference to the nation's security and the well-being of its citizens. Our efforts are critical to maintaining the U.S. nuclear deterrent and reducing the threats of proliferation and terrorism. Experiments at NIF are blazing new territory in fundamental physics and leading the way toward a clean, carbon-free, virtually unlimited energy resource.
Advances in high-performance computing are making it possible to tackle the "too hard" problems, like designing a smart energy grid or deciphering the myriad factors that affect global climate. Our unique capabilities are called upon not only to respond to urgent crises, such as the Fukushima reactor disaster, but also to anticipate future threats and to envision and create the capabilities that will be needed decades hence.
Thanks to nearly 60 years of investment in this Laboratory -- and your exceptional talents and dedication -- LLNL is singularly capable to tackle many of the most difficult challenges confronting the country -- nuclear security, energy and climate, public health, economic competitiveness.
And so, I would like to extend to all of you my best wishes for a wonderful and safe holiday season and an exciting and productive New Year."

Poor guy, looks like Moses has this guy snookered. He doesn't really believe this does he?
Notice how he refuses to use the "N W" words. Say it Parney......Nuclear Weapons! Sad state of affairs when the Lab's primary mission in nuclear weapons is not mentioned.

What part of "Our efforts are critical to maintaining the U.S. nuclear deterrent" does not sound synonymous to "N W" to you?

National Deterrent are all encompassing "fluff" words.

I guess you made up the "national deterrent" thing.
The only viable source of fusion energy on earth will be the sun.

He meant national detergent.
What, no quotes from Parney?
